the NEUTRAL is better called a common, it is a common return path for both half of the electrical power in a 240 v res wiring.
the new champion RV ready model has both windings paralleled, it is 120v only with floating neutral
in res wiring, the breakers are in the HOT side of the circuit, because the common side all the commons from all the circuits are tied together at the breaker panel, in order to kill he circuit the wire goes in the HOT side
for safety and common wiring practice even the breakers of a portable genny should be in the HOT side ( even though there is NO true single hot wire and no true zero wire ), especially when rewiring a genny from 240v, to 120v only, this ensures that there is, NO accidental circuit path thru a paralleled winding from one winding to the other
